<blockquote>

====New Fearsome Mice Have Been Sighted!====
 
−
Fear and awe have spread through mice and hunters alike in recent days, as rumours of terrifying new mice have quickly spread.
 
  
−
In the Twisted Garden, a super-charged mouse lurks in the depths, shocking (both literally and figuratively) anyone that comes near!
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
 +
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
 +
 
 +
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.

If there was ever a mouse that proved a little too tough, or thought he was a little too much for you, the Ultimate Charm will prove them wrong. What does it do? ''It catches mice. '''Period.''''' Regardless of any other factors, this charm will catch the very next mouse that wanders too close. Then, if it wasn't jostled too hard in the process, maybe it stays around for another try. Try to see how many mice yours lasts for!

Finally, to prove your dominion over the Living Garden, there's the all-new Living Garden theme. Anyone viewing your journal when you have this theme active will definitely know that you are the true master of the Living Garden!

====Bonus Luck Weekend!====

It looks like a light smattering of lucky fairy dust has settled over Gnawnia. Or perhaps the Digby scientists have been up to more of their irresponsible experiments? Maybe everyone's just on an incredible streak. Whatever it is, every trap is lucky this weekend, and everyone gets a +5 luck bonus on every hunt!

====The Great Winter... Shopping Spree?====
+
|}
−
Long ago, a little mouse called Albert had his heart broken repeatedly by Santa when he asked and asked for presents every year, but never received them. This continued year after year until finally he decided he'd had enough, and would get his own presents from then on!
 
  
−
We didn't hear much from him after that until this year, when — immediately after the Festive Comet landed — a collection of construction vehicles with "Greedy Al" emblazoned on the side showed up, plowed the Festive Comet flat, and built a huge big-box store right on top of it! Then they left, but only after having distributed the following flyer to everyone around:

==== Festive Activities ====

[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=432079030179421 Flyer]
+
The Great Winter Hunt is one of the biggest events of the year and there's so much more than golems. Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

====Hysteria! Chaos! Confusion!====
+
<div style="text-align: center; font-size: 125%; font-weight: bold">Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC</div>
−
Everything is ruined! Or is it? Perhaps if we can restore Greedy Al's faith in the spirit of the season — the spirit of giving — we can prevent everyone from devolving into selfish curmudgeons and save everything!
 
  
−
Hunters have been reporting sightings of a confused-looking mouse with a mailbag, handing out old letters of Al's. Each has a clue to an old toy that he wanted and didn't get. If we can just re-create that toy — or a reasonable version of it — and give it to him, perhaps we can warm his heart enough to get him to see joy again!

Once you're inside, hunt mice and collect the Festive Feta they'll drop. You're going to need a lot! Try using SUPER|brie+, which will attract the Snowflake mouse, who drops extra Festive Feta.

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again

The Frost King's Latest Attack

The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.

Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.

The Great Winter Hunt is one of the biggest events of the year and there's so much more than golems. Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm, all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.

Grand Gift Opening Ceremony

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 18. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.

New Year's Celebration

Keep an eye out for an update on December 30 at approximately 4:00pm UTC to start the New Year's celebration! There will be a map to complete and new rewards to earn!
